Michael never had a normal childhood. He was a child living in an adult world; he had undergone things regular children could have never experienced. He spent the majority of his childhood trying to ‘make it’ in the music industry. He didn’t know what he was missing. Only did he realize it when he got older that he had sacrificed the things that he could never get back. Missing out on the opportunity to grow up at a normal pace is something that one of the richest and most famous men in the world spent his life and fortune trying to get back. In our celebrity-obsessed culture, it is ordinary life that is extraordinary for the extraordinary.

By the time Michael Jackson was an adult, he was drawn toward the outrageous, unusual or abnormal, but as a child he seemed to want nothing more than to be like other kids.
“More than anything, I wished to be a normal little boy,” he wrote in an extraordinary essay on Beliefnet in 2000. “I wanted to build tree houses and go to roller-skating parties. But very early on, this became impossible. I had to accept that my childhood would be different than most others. But that’s what always made me wonder what an ordinary childhood would be like.”
But Jackson said his religion provided some of his few moments of normality. Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, Jackson as a child would go door to door peddling religious literature. As an adult, he would put on a fat suit and disguise to hand out material at the shopping mall, and gain peace from his anonymity, and his own celebration of Sabbath(church on Sundays).

Jackson said that he was physically and emotionally abused by his father; he endured ceaseless rehearsals, whippings, and name-callings. He said that during his childhood he would often cry from loneliness and would sometimes start to vomit upon seeing his father. In one altercation Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks". Joseph would also trip or push his male children into walls. One night while Jackson was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterwards, Jackson said he suffered from nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.
